Know what you have, and where it is.

Pocket Inventory is a home inventory for households: what you own, how many, where it lives and whose it is. Add something in one line, tap minus when you use one and plus when you buy more, and let the shopping list fill itself.

Items

Everything in the house, one row each.

Each row shows the place, category, brand, price and tags, with minus and plus right beside the quantity. Search covers names, serials, barcodes, tags and places, and items running low are marked in red.

The items list with tiles for running low and expiring soon, filters, the quick-add bar and rows with minus and plus

Shopping list

A shopping list that writes itself.

Give an item an alert level and it lands on the shopping list when stock drops to it, grouped by place. Tap Bought and the quantity goes back up.

Items that expire within 30 days are listed underneath
Copy as text to paste the list into a message or a note

People

Yours, or shared with the household.

Everyone signs in to their own inventory. Share an item with one or more people and it shows up for them too, and filter the list by Mine, by a name or by Not shared.

Places and categories can be created right in the form
Brand, serial, price, warranty date, barcode and photo fold away
Archive things you no longer have instead of deleting them

Activity

Every change, and who made it.

Each minus and plus is recorded with the amount, the new quantity, an optional note and the person who made it, per item and in one feed for the whole house.

Add a reason when you change a quantity, such as TV remote
The same feed is available to other apps through the API

The activity feed: batteries used for a TV remote and a game controller, coffee and printer paper changes

And the rest of it

Automation with tokens
Personal API tokens for iOS Shortcuts, Home Assistant or n8n: adjust a quantity, look up a barcode, or feed a Homepage or Glance widget from the dashboard endpoint.
In the Pocket Homelab app
The companion app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android has the items with minus and plus, the quick add and the shopping list.
Works with other Pocket apps
With Pocket Core, people sign in once, and apps they allow can use their inventory: Pocket Garage for parts, Pocket Kitchen for the pantry.
One file to back up
A single binary and one SQLite database. Back up from the settings, the command line or the API, and export or import JSON and CSV.
